He and I didn't always see eye to eye, but his tough love and hard pushes were always what we needed. He took on the role of mentor to my brother and son both in vulnerable times like they were his own. He is an honorable and respected man, son, brother, and everything on between. He wanted the best for everyone around him and he had such a great laugh. Lots of memories and my love to his family for another great loss. May you find peace. And to his beautiful daughters, he loved you both so very much.

Jason was a very laid back awesome coworker. Being out on injury leave, I wasn't informed of Jason's passing at the time. My highest condolences to his family and friends. I know He is now being taking care of by our lord and savior! God bless.
